After a moment's hesitation, Yi Taiqing said, "I still need to investigate the specifics. Let's talk about the alliance later."
"Of course, if you can bring Ying Xuanzi in as well, that would be ideal."
Deep down, she didn't really believe that the Yuan Sect was related to the Yimo Yimo, who were enemies of the entire continent.
If the Yuan Sect's goal is merely to dominate the Eastern Xuan Region, wouldn't colluding with the Yimo be playing with fire and getting burned?
She didn't quite believe that Xiang Yun could get Ying Xuanzi to join the alliance. Given Ying Xuanzi's personality, the Yuan Sect could easily manipulate him.
"Come on, come back with me."
After Yi Taiqing finished speaking, she didn't linger there any longer, even though she didn't think much of what Xiang Yun said was credible.
But Xiang Yun mentioned the Supreme Palace, and she was determined to investigate that alone.
If she hadn't investigated clearly whether Yuan Sect was truly colluding with the Yimo, it would be a dereliction of duty on her part as the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, and she would have failed the immortals. She looked at Ling Qingzhu and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Your scent?"
It was only then that Yi Taiqing noticed something was off about Ling Qingzhu's aura; Ling Qingzhu must have just undergone the Three Yuan Nirvana.
But now, why does it feel like we're about to break through to the Four Yuan Nirvana?
"Well, I've made a little progress. Xiang Yun gave me some treasures, which gave me some new insights into the Supreme Induction Art."
"Treasure?"
Yi Taiqing frowned slightly; it seemed that Xiang Yun did indeed have some connection with the Supreme Palace.
Aside from that aspect, there are also treasures that can help Ling Qingzhu cultivate.
"Alright, then it's good to go back and break through. This time, I must at least defeat Ying Xiaoxiao."
Yi Taiqing no longer said that Ling Qingzhu should defeat Xiang Yun; she had previously had some doubts about whether Xiang Yun could defeat Advanced Life Profound.
But now it seems that this is not unfounded; at least in the Nirvana Realm, no one is his match.
Since that's the case, let's settle for second best and at least defeat Ying Xiaoxiao.
As for those above, others will handle that.
After Yi Taiqing and Ling Qingzhu left the mountain, Yi Taiqing couldn't help but ask, " Qingzhu, how has your master treated you?"
Ling Qingzhu thought that Yi Taiqing felt uncomfortable because she had been standing next to Xiang Yun, so she quickly said, "Master has always treated me very well."
"Um, could you lend Master that treasure that can help with cultivating the Supreme Induction Art so he can comprehend it?"
Yi Taiqing was also a little embarrassed, after all, this was essentially borrowing his disciple's treasure, but the bottleneck of the Reincarnation Stage was right in front of him.
Although the improved Supreme Induction Art made her understanding of Reincarnation clearer, she still felt it was too slow.
If it had been said before, the right path is now before us.
To ease Yi Taiqing's anxiety, Ling Qingzhu looked embarrassed and said, "Master, that thing cannot be lent out."
"Can't be lent out?"
Ling Qingzhu paused for a moment, then whispered to Yi Taiqing.
The contents inside struck Yi Taiqing like a thunderbolt; could such a cultivation method truly exist in this world?
"I misspoke."
No matter how eager Yi Taiqing was to break through to the Reincarnation Stage, he would not compete with Ling Qingzhu for this.
He hesitated for a moment before asking, "This... will it really work for you?"
"Um."
"Then you should focus on your cultivation from now on." Yi Taiqing emphasized the word "cultivation."
"Good."
Inside the hall.
Hong Wuji, "Good lad, you're quite something, managing to lure the Young Palace Master Taiqing Palace here."
"That woman, Taiqing, almost tore this place down."
Xiang Yun smiled sheepishly. He had been so focused on cultivation that they hadn't seen each other for half a year, and naturally, their passion had ignited and was now unstoppable.
"These are the details of this exchange. Take a look; I didn't expect Old Tortoise Ying to really go all out this time."
Hong Wuji tossed a jade slip to Xiang Yun, Xiang Yun caught it and asked in confusion, "Did he agree to let me comprehend the Great Desolation Scripture?"
As he spoke, he probed the jade slip with his Mental Energy.
"They said they were fed up with you, so they came up with the rules for this trial. This time, those at the third level and below, the fourth to sixth level, and the seventh to ninth level are divided into three levels. The top two in each level can comprehend the Great Desolation Tablet."
"Of course, the cost of activating the Great Desolation Tablet will be shared equally among the three sects."
"But you're a little different."
Xiang Yun's lips twitched as he said, "I saw it. They want me to fight all the Nirvana except for those in the Four Great Halls, and then fight the Hall Master and Vice Hall Master of the Desolate Hall?"
"You can only join if you win?"
The jade slip contains the treatment and conditions for this exchange. It's as ordinary as cultivating in the Pill River and comprehending ordinary martial arts techniques, which is considered normal treatment.
This has happened in the past, but few people have been able to comprehend ordinary martial arts, since the martial arts within their own sects are not weak either.
Each sect's martial arts have their own unique characteristics; trying to learn too much at once will only lead to failure, and not everyone has Xiang Yun's level of comprehension.
"Um."
Hong Wuji somewhat regretted letting Xiang Yun's strength be exposed so quickly. It did indeed bring some fame to the Primordial Hall and make Xiang Yun famous.
But this also brought Xiang Yun to the forefront.
Even he could see that Old Man Ying's move was an attempt to add fuel to the fire regarding Xiang Yun.
"That works too. Hitting one is the same as hitting two."
Xiang Yun stroked his chin and said, "But Old Turtle Ying is probably not just annoyed by me; he's planning to use me to attract the attention of the Yuan Sect?"
"That should be the case. Previously, your fight against Advanced Life Profound within the sect was just news. But if this time you truly displayed the strength to suppress two Grandmasters of the Advanced Life Profound..."
" The Yuan Sect's probing attacks will likely come one after another."
"The pressure on the Dao Sect will be greatly reduced at once; at the very least, the Yuan Sect's spearhead will definitely be directed at us."
Hong Wuji continued, "Don't forget, after the Hundred Dynasties War, the Sect Competition will also begin."
"If the Dao Sect wants to maintain its current status, it must participate in the Sect Competition, but as you know, they were severely weakened in the last competition."
"This time, the senior disciple of the Heaven Hall is his daughter. Knowing his personality..."
Xiang Yun chuckled lightly and casually crushed the jade slip.
"That old tortoise is quite good at playing Tai Chi, but this time he has no choice."
Xiang Yun had been hesitant. If Ying Xuanzi only knew that Zhou Tong was not dead, given his personality, he would definitely drag it out and say that he would investigate more thoroughly before making a decision.
A person with a turtle-like habit will not immediately change their behavior even if they encounter something unacceptable.
Like in the original timeline, Lin Dong was forced by the Yuan Sect and could only flee to the Eastern Xuan Region in the end. However, that time was not like Zhou Tong.
The Yuan Sect is in the wrong.
Ying Xuanzi still tolerated it, only sending Lin Dong away, which was a slight change, but not much.
He had some time, but now that Ying Xuanzi was going to add fuel to the fire, he would turn the fire on Ying Huanhuan.
The reincarnation of the Ice Lord.
If word gets out, it won't be as simple as just Yuan Sect.
This kind of turtle will only bite when you force it into a corner; otherwise, it will keep its head retracted inside its shell.
It felt like the world was at peace.
